Numbers Challenge 2010 - Info and Signup

To returning challengers: What do you think of the new logo?

The challenge is to read books whose titles have a number in them from Jan 1, 2010 to August 1, 2010. This includes written numbers like 'one' and numbers like 10th or first or even half.

You can pick from different levels this year:

1. Read one book with a number in it
2. Read three books with a number in it.
3. Read five or more books with a number in it.

Need some help picking? See the sidebar.

You can cross-over with other challenges, use e-books or audio books and re-read books.

Note
Since I'm late in posting this any book you read since Jan. 1 that has a number in it can be counted towards your goal, regardless of when you join the challenge.

ABOUT TAGGING: If you do decide to post your reviews on this blog (and I hope you will) please note I have changed around some of the tags. Please tag your book with the number in it. If the number is between 1-9, there are tags like this: "1_One" Use those. For over 9, you can just input it either as a number or a word, depending on how it is in your book. Also tag as fiction or non-fiction. Always include your name and use the tag "Lists" for your book choices and "Wrap-Ups" for your wrap-up posts. Sorry to have rules but I'm just trying to make this blog easy to navigate so those looking for book ideas can find them.

NOTICE: On Labelling Your Posts

I'd like this blog to be a simple way to look up books with numbers in them so please label as follows:

your name (so we know it's your post)
fiction or non-fiction or children's or teens fiction or non-fiction
you can add a genre if it makes sense (i.e. mystery, historical fiction)
If it's about the Holocaust, add that as a label
the number in the title*

*if it's between 1-9, the labels look like this: 1_One, 2_Two so it will be one label whether the number is spelled out or it's the numeral. For numbers above 10, please add it as a numeral if it's a numeral and a spelled out word if it's a spelled out word. So if your book says Fifteen, add the label Fifteen. If it says 15, add label 15.

If I see posts that aren't labelled right I will relabel them. I'm not trying to be difficult I just want it to be easy to navigate when looking for books.

NOTE: Look at the labels on the side to see what's already been used, it might give you an idea of something fitting to add to your post.

Numbers Challenge is OVER!

Your Time is UP! How did you do? Did you finish? If you were posting your reviews to this blog, please feel free to keep posting if you haven't reviewed them all yet. If you didn't finish, don't worry, you did great!

I plan on running this challenge again next year so keep an eye out in December for signups. If you write a wrap-up, please let me know either by email or in the comments of the wrap-ups post below. If you didn't write a wrap-up, or want to give me anonymous comments or suggestions, please comment here on what you did or didn't like.

See you in 2009!

I know there are a lot of great challenges going on starting Jan but remember, they are all just for fun, if you don't finish, you don't finish, no big deal!
